The impact of complications on prolonged length of hospital stay after resection in colorectal cancer: A retrospective study of Taiwanese patients.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05229822 (Prognostic Significance of Bacterial Translocation Markers as Predictors of Infectious and Inflammatory Complications in Acute Mechanical Bowel Obstruction), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the impact of minor, major and individual complications on prolonged length of hospital stay in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) after surgery using multivariate models. Methods This was a retrospective review of data from patients who underwent surgery for stage I-III CRC at two medical centres in southern Taiwan between 2005-2010. Information was derived from four databases. Multivariate logistic regression methods were used to assess the impact of complications on prolonged length of stay (PLOS) and prolonged postoperative length of stay (PPOLOS). Results Of 1658 study patients, 251 (15.1%) experienced minor or major postsurgical complications during hospitalizations. Minor and major complications were significantly associated with PLOS (minor, odds ratio [OR] 3.59; major, OR 8.82) and with PPOLOS (minor, OR 5.55; major, OR 10.00). Intestinal obstruction, anastomosis leakage, abdominal abscess and bleeding produced the greatest impact. Conclusions Minor and major complications were stronger predictors of prolonged hospital stay than preoperative demographic and disease parameters. Compared with the PLOS model, the PPOLOS model better predicted risk of prolonged hospital stay. Optimal surgical and medical care have major roles in surgical CRC patients.
